It looks like you have other buds coming! Very cool.
What happened with this flower though? There is a mark along the mid rib of the right petal and the dorsal is damaged at its apex. But the color is really nice! Petals look to be almost perfectly round. It has good potential. I like it.

The flower was damaged by the grow light reflector

Oh man, that’s tough. But keep your chin up, you have a nice flower there!!

Interesting. I have the same cross. Post when it is fully open if you can, or the next flower!
